I've made a decision. I'm not posting much here anymore. This is not an edifying use of my time. It has been interesting and I have made some nice net "friends." But the constant flaming, nasty PMs, and personal attacks are making it no fun to be here.

I'll still read the interesting threads and answer sincere PMs, but not so much posting...

Thanks to those of you who were nice. You know who you are. :)

Who ever claimed Sciforums was edifying!? Good luck getting edified elsewhere...

Kinda reminds me of The Littlest Hobo:

"There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on."

You should have talked with me first before deciding to leave.

That said, I really don't want you to go. I agree with about 30% of what you say, but our differences, aren't the issue. You bring some lively debates to this website and though you may piss a lot of people off, it's still fun to see what goes on when you stirr this nest of hornets.

Yes... you are a target for a lot of criticism. But I know you thrive on it. That the criticism gets personal is a beast that is, in part, of your own creation. Sandy, standing up for what you believe is tough... but it's not really all THAT tough in this place-- I mean... It's just a forum, right?

Beyond that, Sandy, even though no one on the left will admit it, You bring a lot of enjoyable topics to debate here. The heat is part of the fun. You know what the political makeup of this place is-- you should accept that and do like salmon do-- use the eddies against the current. But you don't-- you're like a bull in a china shop sometimes, which is fine, but you have to accept that sometimes the shop owners (and fellow customers) will get pissy. If you don't like that role, then change it, you can STILL express your conservative viewpoints in a way that is... ahhhh... easier to swallow. But again, I don't think that's what you want. You like being the target.

So why leave?

Also, please know that if you ONLY go to a forum where people agree with you, well then, you'll only be hearing parrots echoing your viewpoint. Is that what you want?

Best of luck to you.

Okay, that post I made was stupid. Obviously, you have a much more general concern about what this place does to you. It's probably stressing you out. Maybe you feel like you're not accomplishing anything with your participation, or you're sick of having to defend every minute point you try to make. That's the nature of the beast, I'm afraid. I'd say you would probably be well advised to reduce your participation, or even eliminate it. I've already chosen for myself not to get involved beyond the occasional thought-provoking forays, even though I could very easily be sucked in completely. Do you have other mental stimulation you can rely on? Do you want to take your Sciforum friends and rely on them to stimulate you in a more respectful manner than a lot of people on here? If so, I'd say you'd probably be doing yourself a favor. Just do what's best for you, okay?

I'm sorry to see Sandy go...even though I dont believe its a real poster.

Its just a character dreamed up by someone intensely critical of the particularily American brand of evangelistic christianity and mindless dumbassed backwoods patriotism.

His exaggeration of this mind set is his way of criticism...but its a little too over-dramatized to be real.

You make my blood boil, but I've got used to you being here, Sandy. Occasionally.. Well, very rarely you'll say something and I'll agree, but it causes me pain to admit that ;)

Either way, it's fair enough whatever you decide to do. Best of luck.

I may have taken the piss out of you here and there - but let me tell you, if I did hurt your feelings I apologise. And anyway, I doubt any of the insults you receive here actually hurt you.

I doubt it was the critics that made sandy leave. After all, there is always the option to ignore certain posters. Sandy joined just over two months ago and has posted over 2,600 times already. The thought that there is something else to do with that time instead might have been compelling. Sandy didn't leave, and will still be reading and replying to some messages.

I believe you are an idiot.

It's not just what you say but the choice of words and how you say it is like a common stereotype. If you check websites where white nationalists usually post, they use the same analogies of delicate flowers and references to purity(regarding those of their own race). You perceive Sandy as pure and sweet not because she sent you a nice pm but because she shares your american views(meaning you perceive her positive spin on american politics as motivated by virtue and the negative spin on nonamerican politics or persons as justified by whatever her reasoning-hence still 'pure' in your judgement) and she is white just like you. I can read you like an easy book.

I'm sure most people's feelings towards you are no secret.

Unfortunately sandy where you fell down was in greatly lacking maturity and a reasonable attitude, amongst other things.
Take the time to grow up a little as I'm sure you'll return in some guise or another. Now run home to mommy like a good girl cause the bigger boys bullied you.:rolleyes:

As I stated a few times early on, Jesus may not be cutting it for her any longer.
She's going back into rehab and I don't think they allow internet access.

If this is not the case, than my other theory hold true....she/he was a complete fake. A contrived personality to stir things up.

I only conversed with Sandy a couple of times. Each time I had the feeling I was actually chatting with a room full of pimply faced loser college computer geeks introducing their creation of a new cartoon character, so I'd cut it short. It got to the point that I never even bothered reading any new Sandy episodes.

So Sandy, all I can say is the ratings were good originally, you had them going, but you overkilled it. I hope that you are who I think you are and if you're not then I truly feel sorry about how things turned out. Quitting is capitulation, surrendering. It's an internet forum for Christ's sake, you can be anybody you want. Stay in character to be successful.

http://www.dalermehndi.com/ (http://www.dalermehndi.com/)

Actually, it was just me screwing around with an onomatopoeic representation of a repeated guitar riff form this song:
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99rOzMVtcx4&mode=related&search=)

It's about an ore-carrier which sinks during a storm on Lake Superior. Sort of a tie-in with the image on the propaganda poster.
"Someone Talked" was a slogan employed in American WW2 propaganda to remind people not to discuss the departure schedule of Merchant Marine vessels bound for Europe, lest the ubiquitous ratzi spies infesting the land transmit this information to their evil masters.

You see, in the endlessly complicated series of inside jokes being exchanged between me, myself, and I - it all goes together...
"Spilling the beans" about darksidZz's "secret thread" - so he's "sunk"... like a torpedoed merchant marine ship... or a storm-tossed lake freighter...

Work with me here... it's a thematic performance art piece derived from the deepest sub-basements of the " human condition "...
( well, that or a bunch of bullshit )

I don't understand people who complain non-stop about others in a certain place (wherever or whatever that place may be) disliking them, treating them poorly, wanting them to leave and not feeling welcome - yet still wish to stay.

If I have an overwhelming sense of not being welcome somewhere by the majority of the people there, I will generally leave.

Dont get put off just cos people disagree with you and sometimes things get heated. shit how boring would it be if we all talked the same stuff.

Sandy, i am sure you are just having a break and will be back posting your usual selction of posts pretty soon.

as you say you are not going completely but just cooling off a bit (or somehting like that)

You take it ez now, your posts have been really entertaining allbeit very frustrating from time to time. but then again you could probably say the same about me!!!
